Book Description
Excerpt from Coin's Financial School: Up to Date At the close of "Coin's Financial School" the lectures therein delivered were at once published, and appeared as the June number, 1894, of our Financial Series. The popular reception of the "School," unprecedented in the history of literature, has aroused an interest in the subsequent history of Coin, the little financier. In these pages his acts and utterances since his "School" was taught in Chicago, are chronicled, bringing the subject discussed down to date. This volume is an answer to Coin's critics, contains new and startling information, and together with the "School" makes a complete treatise upon the subject of money. As we go to press with this book, "Coin's Financial School" is selling at the rate of over 5,000 copies per day. All of the statistics used herein and those in "Coin's Financial School" were copied and carefully proofread from the official documents of the government. Since the "School" was published the authorities at Washington have issued revised editions of these same books and have changed many of the figures, but more often in favor of Coin's contentions than against them. This is the case in the amount of silver Coin reported to have been coined prior to 1873. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Soul's Economy
Author: Jeffrey Sklansky
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 080786143X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Tracing a seismic shift in American social thought, Jeffrey Sklansky offers a new synthesis of the intellectual transformation entailed in the rise of industrial capitalism. For a century after Independence, the dominant American understanding of selfhood and society came from the tradition of political economy, which defined freedom and equality in terms of ownership of the means of self-employment. However, the gradual demise of the household economy rendered proprietary independence an increasingly embattled ideal. Large landowners and industrialists claimed the right to rule as a privilege of their growing monopoly over productive resources, while dispossessed farmers and workers charged that a propertyless populace was incompatible with true liberty and democracy. Amid the widening class divide, nineteenth-century social theorists devised a new science of American society that came to be called "social psychology." The change Sklansky charts begins among Romantic writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller, continues through the polemics of political economists such as Henry George and William Graham Sumner, and culminates with the pioneers of modern American psychology and sociology such as William James and Charles Horton Cooley. Together, these writers reconceived freedom in terms of psychic self-expression instead of economic self-interest, and they redefined democracy in terms of cultural kinship rather than social compact.

The Power of Gold
Author: Peter L. Bernstein
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111827010X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
"The need for realism in reform of its monetary system is what makes Bernstein’s story of the Power of Gold so timely. It is a compelling reminder that maintaining a fixed price for gold and fixed exchange rates were difficult even in a simpler financial environment….Peter Bernstein was reluctant to project the story of gold into the future. But to me his message was clear. Yes, gold will be with us, valued not only for its intrinsic qualities but as a last refuge and store of value in turbulent times. But its days as money, as a means of payment and a fixed unit of account are gone." —From the New Foreword by Paul Volcker This bestselling book reveals a record of human nature in the ubiquity of gold with a new foreword by Paul Volcker In this exciting book, the late Peter L. Bernstein tells the story of history's most coveted, celebrated, and inglorious asset: gold. From the ancient fascinations of Moses and Midas through the modern convulsions caused by the gold standard and its aftermath, gold has led many of its most eager and proud possessors to a bad end. And while the same cycle of obsession and desperation may reverberate in today's fast-moving, electronically-driven markets, the role of gold in shaping human history is the striking feature of this tumultuous tale. Such is the power of gold. Whether it is Egyptian pharaohs with depraved tastes, the luxury-mad survivors of the Black Death, the Chinese inventor of paper money, the pirates on the Spanish Main, or the hardnosed believers in the international gold standard, gold has been the supreme possession. It has been an icon for greed and an emblem of rectitude, as well as a vehicle for vanity and a badge of power that has shaped the destiny of humanity through the ages. Discusses the beginnings of gold as something with magical, religious, and artistic qualities and follows its trail as we progress to the invention of coinage, the transformation of gold into money, and the gold standard Other bestselling books by the late Peter Bernstein: Against the Gods, Capital Ideas, and Capital Ideas Evolving Contemplates gold from the diverse perspectives of monarchs and moneyers, potentates and politicians, men of legendary wealth and others of more plebeian beginnings Far more than a tale of romantic myths, daring explorations, and the history of money and power struggles, The Power of Gold suggests that the true significance of this infamous element may lie in the timeless passions it continues to evoke, and what this reveals about ourselves.
